It’s primary election season in South Florida, and there’s a lot to unpack.
On this week’s episode of HY-LO NEWS LIVE, the team gets into the latest local politics, culture and community conversations, with correspondent Justin B. Smith joining the discussion.
The episode features an exclusive interview with Kaysia Earley, a candidate for Florida’s 22nd Congressional District, as she shares more about her campaign and the race ahead.
The team also takes a closer look at what’s happening at the polls, including reports and conversations surrounding campaign workers and candidates at the North Dade Regional Library early voting site as voters make their way to the polls.
And there’s plenty of political commentary to get into. The show breaks down rapper and Miami cultural figure Uncle Luke’s recent comments about people “stealing votes,” including the context behind his remarks. The conversation also turns to Chef Creole’s comments about voting for Donald Trump and how those remarks are landing amid ongoing Temporary Protected Status issues affecting members of South Florida’s Haitian community.
Beyond politics, the episode taps into Miami’s music scene, with Freezy, E-Class and Ted Lucas teaming up to search for the next superstar from South Florida. The crew discusses what the collaboration could mean for the region’s next generation of artists.
The episode also features recaps of two recent HY-LO News community events: Politics & Chill: Broward County Edition and The Ballot Breakdown virtual town hall, including some of the conversations and voter information that came out of both events.
